Description

On 1 January 2005, an economic instrument of climate policy was introduced throughout Europe: Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowance Trading. The 3rd international Summer Academy will address the topic “Emissions Trading in Europe – Review and Preview” and evaluate initial experiences with this system from an economic, legal and political perspective as well as from the point of view of practice. It also aims to provide new ideas for political and legal decision-making. The Commission report on the operation of the emissions trading directive submitted to the European Parliament and the Council by a 30 June 2006 will provide an ideal starting point. Drawing on a review of experiences to date, the Council has been mandated with elaborating proposals for the further development of emissions trading as an instrument. 30 June 2006 is also the deadline for submission of the National Allocation Plans for the second trading period.
